A GENIAL Restorative

Hostetter's stomach bitters are EN-,
phatically genial restorative. The
changes which this great botanic remedy
produces in the disordered organization
are always agreeable. though surely
progressive, never abrupt and violent.
On this account it is admirably adapted
TO persons of delicate constitution and
weak nerves, to whom the powerful min
eral drugs are positively injurious That
it initiates those processes which result
in the establishment of healthful vigor
is conspiciously shown in cases where il
is taken to overcome that fruitful cause
of debility, indigestion, coupled, as it
usually is, with biliousness and constipa-
uon. Thorough digestion, regular evac-
uation and abundant secretion, are re-
suits which promptly and invariably at
tend lis systematic use. II is, besides,
the best protective against malaria, and
first rate diuretic.

A STEAMBOAT SUIT.
A Case in a United States Court of
Interest to River Men--The War
Eagle Litigation.

A Case in United states Court Of
Interest to River Men-The War
Eagle Litigation.
Captain Jere Wood, the well known
steamboatman, of Savanna, and master
of the St. Louis & st. Paul Packet com,
panys steamer, War Eagle. has gone to
keokuk, where the famous damage suit
of the st. Louis & st. Paul Packet
company against the Keokuk and Ham,
ilton bridge company is on trial in the
United States District court The dam
ages demanded are fixed at $4,000
This suit grows out of the War Eagle
disaster of November 4, 1881. The
steamer, commanded by Capt. Wood,
while on her way down the Mississippi,
was violently driven by the current of
the river against the bridge of the de.
fendant and was badly damaged and
wrecked. The plaintiff claims the injury
was wholly caused by the negligence and
fault OF the defendant. 1t is alleged that
the bridge of the defendant was not
erected and constructed either in the
erection of the piers or in the width of
draw opening in the clear, and that the
piers are not parallel with the current Of
the Mississippi river, and that the draw
opening is not 100 feet in tie clear. 1t
is claimed the bridge was carelessly coz
structed and that it is an obstruction to
navigation, For the loss of cargo and
damage to the vessel judgment for
800, 600 is asked.
The bridge company filed an answer
and counter-claim to this petition, in
which the negligeL ce of the defendant is
denied and the claim made that the If
icers and employees of the packet com
pany by their own negligence contribu
ted to the injury complained Of For
further answer the defendant AYERS that
the plaintiff knew or by the exercise of
ordinary care would have known of the
exact condition of the bridge and draw
and that without protest or complaint
have continued to use the same for the
passage of their boats. 1t is claimed
the officers of the boat negligently man
aged and operated the steamer Mar
Eagle and failed to pass through the
draw, negIigently attempting its passage
in an improper and dangerous stage of
water and navigation, that the boat was
negligenty permitted to strike the bridge
and damaged and knocked out an entire
span. By reason of this injury and dam.
age and loss of business snd travel the
bridge company asks Judgment for |
500 600 damages.
